Ara Abrahamyan: "I can list twenty reasons why we should be with Russia"

Russia puts its national interests above all else in many ways, and this should be the case in Armenia as well, but Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan does not respect Armenia's interests, one of which is to be with Russia, said Ara Abrahamyan, head of the Union of Armenians of Russia, in an interview with RIA Novosti.
"There are now many issues in which Russia, and this is normal, puts its national interests above all else. It should be exactly the same in Armenia and in other countries. But the Prime Minister of Armenia - he does not act in the interests of Armenia. It is in the interests of Armenia to be with Russia. I can list twenty reasons why we should be with Russia," Abrahamyan said.
He emphasized that Armenians, both in Russia and abroad, see Russia as a superpower.
